Start Your Practice

From the beginning to the end, the complete session of practice should be divided into five parts.

Part(i):  Take your first test with previous paper without taking time into consideration. Try to solve all questions. Note down the total time and score in your performance diary. Also note down the questions which took more than one minute. Now you have to find out the reason of your low performance, if it is so. Naturally, you would find the following reasons:

• ·         Some questions were difficult and time-consuming
• ·         Some questions were unsolvable for you.
• ·         You lost your concentration.
• ·         You lost your patience.
• ·         You did more writing job.
• ·         You could not use Quicker Methods.

Try to find out the solutions to all the above problems. If any of the questions was difficult for you, it means your initial preparation was not good. But don’t worry. Go through that chapter again and clear your basic concept. Because the standard of question is always within your reach. If you have passes your 10^th exam with maths, you can solve all the questions. You should take at least 10-12 tests in this part.

Part(II): This time the paper may be either previous or model (sample). Fix your allotted periods (say 50 minutes for PO). And solve as many questions as possible within that period. Once you have completed your test, count the number of correct questions. Note down the number of questions solved by you and the no. of correct solution in your performance diary. Now you can find the reasons for your low scoring. If the reasons are the same as in 

Part (i), you try to resolve the problem again. Take at least 5-6 tests in this part. After analyzing your performance and problems you should be ready for your third part of test.

Part(III): This time you try to solve all the questions within a time period fixed by you in advance. This period should be less than that for the test in 

part (II). If you couldn’t do it, try it again on another test paper. 

Part(III) should not be considered completed unless you have achieved your goal.

Part(IV): After completion of part(III), you need to increase your speed. This part is penultimate stage of your final achievement. You should try to solve the complete paper of maths within a minimum possible time (say, 30-35 minutes for PO paper). This part may take 3 to 4 months. Keep patience and go on practicing.

Part(V): This is the last  part of your practice. After part(IV), you should take your test with complete full-length paper(225 questions for PO).
